I'm playing on the Nintendo Switch, accessing a realm for my family, and I am experiencing the same problem. I want to pick up a bell and move it to another location to change the village's gathering spot. Thing is, each time I pick the bell up, I can't put it down.
I can't place the bell on any surface. Attempting to results in the bell instantly vanishing and returning to my hand in the inventory. If I try to "drop" the bell and throw it on the ground, it again returns right back to my hand. I also can't move it into my inventory. If I try to, it returns right back to the active items bar (I forget what it's officially called), thus taking up a spot that I can't use for anything else. This all started after the Realm was updated to 1.13.0 and after I updated my Switch version to 1.13.0 too.
The only saving grace I've had with getting rid of that bell is the fact that ANOTHER reported bug here on site discusses the "time warp" where much of the progress made by a player is undone as it reverts to a point in time that could have been several minutes earlier. Thankfully, this means that the bell goes back to where it had been originally put.
This has happened to me twice already when accessing a Realm via my Nintendo Switch as well. In my case, I entered the Realm, built a bridge over a river, exited out, and then later, logged back in and I was back where I was before, bridge no longer built. It felt like a groundhog day loop.
This too also didn't happen until after I updated to 1.13.0 on my Switch, and my wife had updated the Realm to 1.13.0 as well.
Now that you mention it... I did pluck a map off the wall and check it to get it to update and reflect the changes I had made. The house I built in the village has a town map set up on the wall, and I would check it to see it update after making specific changes. Namely, I was looking for it to show this bridge over a river I had built. The map updated fine, but later, when I logged in, time had flowed backward to before the bridge was built. I hope whatever is causing this and the Bell issue gets fixed and soon. I want to get this town in order!
